SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
Battery maintenance
The reason that the SQ-80 "remembers" Programs and other parameters, even when the power is OFF.
is that all of its Internal
RAM (Random Access Memory) is Battery-backed-up". (This includes the
Sequencer Memory as well as Program and "Global" parameters.) The Battery that keeps the SQ-80's
Memory intact is located inside the SQ-80, and when it becomes discharged, it must be replaced by an
authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station.
The Battery that came in your
SQ-80 is good for up to six years of life. You will know when it needs
replacing, because the SQ-80 will tell you so. One day you will switch the Power ON, and instead o
f
its usual wake-up message, the Display will read:
WARNING — BATTERY VOLTAGE IS LOW
SAVE DATA AND CONSULT OWNERS MANUAL
When this message appears, you should make sure that all Programs and Sequencer Data are saved to
disk or to Cartridge, and then take the SQ-80 to an authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station as soon as
p
ossible to have the Battery replaced.
